Monkey calls The Atheist Experience.

I ain't no monkey

[I aint no monkey]

This is funny, this morning I showed some children at my church this same picture and ask them to pick out the one that isn't like they others and they had no problem picking it out. Something an atheist can't do. wow

Are you a science fiction writer? Comedian?

I wish people would educate themselves. What they would find out is this is nothing more than assuming evolution to be true then placing non-human primate’s skulls next to human primate’s skulls and saying “see evolution is true”.

When the whole time their own evolution websites state that there is no fossil in the whole world that can be shown to have an ancestry relationship with any other fossil in the world.

To illustrate the falsity of lining skulls up in a row like that I will cite a few examples of living humans.

Clara-- 5"8 Her head circumference is 19 inches. She writes songs and beautiful poems. I can't get any of her hats on my big egg head.

Me-- 5"3 Head circumference 24 inches.

Am I more evolved than her--Not.

Example 2

Mike-- 5"6 head measures 25 inches

Matthew -- 5'7 head measures 21 inches.

Is the top boy more evolved than the one on the bottom? No. In fact both are mentally gifted and are bothers. They are my nephews.

The same is true of the skulls all laid out in the neat little line. Head size isn't telling are far as the intelligence of the subject. I am highly skeptical of charting skulls this way.

Are you a science fiction writer?

Never really got into that. I like some of it, but not much. Too much like ID.

Comedian?

Briefly. Wasn't very successful at it.

But in humans, the hallux is repositioned more like the primitive vertebrate foot on the lower limbs, and more like an infant chimp on the upper limbs.

(Stuff about size)

The differences are mostly not about size. I thought you said you knew about evolution?

The same is true of the skulls all laid out in the neat little line. Head size isn't telling are far as the intelligence of the subject.

But things like the shape of the dental arcade, location of the foramen magnum, prognathism or retention of juvenile traits, those are important.

Why do you think creationists cannot agree on how to separate the humans from the apes in this series?

I am highly skeptical of charting skulls this way.

It did expose a lot of misconceptions.

Try a different set, such as what I did earlier. But I doubt you can make it unbiased. Anyway, I expect you are on the "kind" bandwagon, which your experiment would show as a failure because you showed them 4 "kinds". WOW.

[The Barbarian]

Notice they have no problem identifying them as different, if they know what they're supposed to say. But if they don't know what the organisms are, then they can't do it.

You ought to give those young'uns a real challenge: show them some photographs and ask them to pick out the unbeliever.

Five bucks says they can't do it.

[exminister]

Good one Gerald.

Yes, I think it is the pattern of the familiar and nothing more. If this was the test and they lived in the U.S. I bet they would pick the dollar.






And C is always the best choice if you don't know the answer. I see Monkey did that.

If only all accountants were that attractive I might have stayed working in MIS.

Yes, do we know that if apes interbred they would not have fertile offspring?

You work at a church?



It is a shame they cannot sue for malpractice in religion.

No other creature on the planet has feet like a human being.
